Abstract: We introduce a proximal subdifferential and develop a calculus for nonsmooth functions defined on any Riemannian manifold M. We give several applications of this theory, concerning: 1) differentiability and geometrical properties of the distance function to a closed subset C of M; 2) solvability and implicit function theorems for nonsmooth functions on M; 3) conditions on the existence of a circumcenter for three different points of M; and especially 4) fixed point theorems for expansive and nonexpansive mappings and certain perturbations of such mappings defined on M.


The authors introduce a concept of proximal subdifferential for functions defined on a Riemannian manifold and also establish a decrease principle from which they deduce solvability and implicit function theorems for nonsmooth functions on Riemannian manifolds. As applications, the authors prove several fixed point theorems for expansive and nonexpansive mappings and some perturbations of such mappings defined on Riemannian manifolds. The results of this paper are interesting and useful for the study of fixed point theorems.
